I actually stopped buying Legion of Superheroes when he stopped writing it.

I think he meant the upcoming book in the Hours Heresy series "Legion" focusing on, hurrah!, the Alpha Legion...

His Legion was OK, but for me nothing will ever be as good as the Giffin/Bierbaum Legion of the early 90s. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/184552/185000.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/184552/185000.page GMT RE: Ask Dan Abnett: the answers

His Legion was OK, but for me nothing will ever be as good as the Giffin/Bierbaum Legion of the early 90s.
Its difficult to compare the two. The Giffin/Bierbaum period started with a really radical redefinition of the visual style of the Legion to make it look like a sci-fi setting. Holographic displays, a complete iconography for signs, even a semi-consistent architectural style.

The Annual he did with Computo (his first story IIRC) was breathtaking

Giffin also wrote the incredibly excellent Darkseid series and how do you do something better than that?

He redefined the series and Abnett then works inside that modified universe and so his work, no matter what its individual merits, will always be seen as having less impact.

I really need to go get a copy of that Darkseid series in paperback.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/184552/185072.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/184552/185072.page GMT RE: Ask Dan Abnett: the answers http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/184552/185762.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/184552/185762.page GMT RE: Ask Dan Abnett: the answers
